5 ways your dairy can benefit from cloud-based herd management
‘The cloud’ can be a commonly used term as you look to integrate new technologies on your operation. But what are the real-world, on-farm benefits of putting your herd data in the cloud? With DairyComp Unlimited, work more collaboratively, more efficiently and gain access to profit-driven insights faster – anytime, anywhere, thanks to included features like VAS PULSE Platform.
Here are a few of our clients’ favorite cloud-based benefits:
1) Consolidate your herd data in one place
VAS PULSE Platform’s cloud-based foundation allows you to seamlessly connect different, on-premise data streams so that your entire team can access them in one place. Manage daily tasks and monitor animal activity, view input from your veterinarians and nutritionists and analyze milk production with ease. And, customizable dashboards allow you to keep an eye on your dairy’s most important KPIs.
The power of VAS PULSE Platform also simplifies how you view live data thanks to a single sign-on method, accessible via a web browser or the DC on Mobile app.
2) Access your data from anywhere
With VAS PULSE, your on-premise DairyComp data is made accessible no matter where you are. If you or your team aren’t on-site, they can still view live herd data anywhere with an internet connection. If you have multiple sites and on-premise DairyComp licenses, VAS PULSE brings all of that data to one place, allowing you to compare and analyze your herds’ production, health, and overall performance in a variety of ways.
3) Integrate with a wide network of industry partners, many of which you already work with
The power of VAS PULSE allows you to connect your DairyComp data with other third-party companies you work with for enhanced management decisions. From activity monitoring products like Nedap, CowManager and smaXtec to milking parlor software, genomic testing providers and creameries, view, compare, and analyze all your dairy’s data, easily, in one place, through VAS PULSE.
VAS integrates with a growing number of industry leaders, allowing you to further customize how you make the most of DairyComp. Visit our Integrations Gallery to see which are available directly through VAS PULSE.
4) Collaborate with internal staff and consultants
VAS PULSE brings flexibility to collaboration with your management team and staff. Efficiently share data and insights with your teams – while remaining in complete control of who can view and interact with your herd’s data, and at what level.
5) Unlock better workforce efficiency through cowside data entry, task management and reporting
The DC on Mobile app puts the power of VAS PULSE at your staff’s fingertips as they walk barns, check animals, and manage their daily tasks. Cow cards are easily accessible through the app and can be integrated with RFID readers for even faster, more accurate herd management.
Note: DC on Mobile is the cloud-based complement to our on-premise mobile solution, Pocket CowCard. While Pocket CowCard syncs locally through your WiFi, DC on Mobile connects natively through the cloud.
